“When we found out that we were having a girl, Will's father knew it had been several generations. As we approached the due date, he figured out exactly how many years,” Settle told InsideEdition.com. “I definitely added an extra element of excitement when we found out that we were having a girl.”

The couple said everyone was ecstatic at their gender reveal party, which they held in December. They both thought they would have another boy.

“It was a very fun reveal and a great Christmas surprise,” Settle said. “Everyone was thrilled. My husband, Will, was very emotional. It was a very sweet moment.”

The couple’s daughter, Carter Louise Settle, was born June 25. Although Carter will have no shortage of male role models on her father’s side, Settle said her family has an equal balance of males and females.
